Survivor Stories

8 years old Aarya was raised in silence, in fear, and in chains. She never knew a life beyond bruises and rules - where food was a privilege, smiles were sins, and love was just a myth. For eight years, she lived under the iron hand of her mother and her cruel boyfriend, taught to be invisible and obedient or be punished. She didn't know family, joy, or even her own worth. Until one day, everything changed. When her abusers were arrested in a drug bust, Aarya thought she was finally free. But freedom was a lie. Because this time she is captured by a monster even more dangerous, a ghost from the underworld, long thought dead. Where she learns a truth more unbelievable than fiction: she is not alone. She is the daughter of Satyaveer Malhotra - one of the most feared mafia dons in the country - and sister to three ruthless crime lords. Thrown from hell into a den of lions, Aarya finds herself in a world she cannot understand - a world of power, guns, secrets, and brothers who speak in bullets and silence. Cold, broken, and dangerous - they don't know how to love. And neither does she. But blood remembers. And somewhere beneath the scars, loyalty, and violence... a family begins to rise..........

At fifteen... she was light. Niharika Rathore was the kind of girl who made rooms softer just by entering them. A sunshine soul wrapped in innocence. She laughed too easily, trusted too quickly, and loved her mother more than anything in the world. Her eyes-almond-shaped, deep, observant-held warmth. Her smile could melt silence. Chubby cheeks like cotton candy... a face everyone remembered. But some stories don't stay soft. Because in one night... everything changed. The man her mother trusted... the man who was supposed to become her stepfather... became the reason her world cracked open. Nothing loud. Nothing spoken. Just a line crossed that should have never been crossed. And after that night... Niharika was never the same. --- At seventeen... she is still alive. But the sunshine is gone. Her smile doesn't reach her eyes anymore. Her gaze avoids people, like the world itself became unsafe. Quiet. Careful. Guarded. She no longer trusts light. She only trusts shadows. Then fate turns again. Her mother slips into a coma. And suddenly... there is no place left for her. A maternal grandfather she barely knows sends her away-far from everything she called home. But before she can leave... another truth arrives like a storm. A father she never truly knew. A name whispered in fear. A mafia king. And he wants her back. Not as a guest. Not as a choice. As his daughter. --- But Niharika has already learned one thing the hard way: Men break things. Even the ones who are supposed to protect you. Now she is taken into a world she never imagined- A house filled with power... silence... and eight brothers who see her as an outsider. No women. No softness. No familiarity. Only rules. Distance. Watchful eyes. And a girl who is terrified of men... being forced to live surrounded by them.

She swears she hates him. He's convinced he hates her more. But when secrets, lies, and late-night whispers begin to blur the line between enemies and something they wouldn't even consider, neither of them is ready for what's coming. *** Aliana is loud, impulsive, and dangerously unpredictable. She lies when she's scared, smiles when she's breaking, and keeps everyone away with her endless sarcasm and sharp tongue. She doesn't need anyone. Especially not him. Ali is silent storms and cold stares. The boy with the bad reputation, a past no one talks about, and a temper that makes people flinch. He wants nothing to do with drama, especially when it wears red lipstick and calls him names. They can't stand each other. So why do they keep ending up alone in the same room? Why does every fight feel like foreplay? And why does hating him hurt more than it should? ~~~~~~ He kisses me, again and again, raw and consuming, and then pulls away; I can feel his green eyes piercing my soul. "What you told me last time, say it again," he whimpers breathlessly. "What?" I manage to ask, confused, and reel him in again for another kiss. He pulls back again, his breath hot against my skin. "That you hate me, tell me that you hate me." "I hate you," I tell him almost instantly, the lie burning on my tongue. He kisses me harder and more hungrily, and the words slip out again from my tongue: "I hate you. I hate you. I hate you." His murmurs deepen into groans, and at this exact moment, I ask myself how I'm still standing, still breathing, still present. ~~~~~~

~Book 4 Layla's journey continues on! Genevieve had been taken down, in a firey display of Layla's power at the High Cross of Kilbride, Ireland. Just when it feels like things can resume to normal, and Layla can return to London with Ryder, another situation comes to fruition. Archie and her brother Aiden are handling the loss of their father, in two completely different ways. Aiden prefers to stay busy, while Archie adamantly believes that his death was Layla's fault. As a result of Archie's pain and sadness, Layla makes a rash decision to leave on her own. More than anything, she doesn't want to be a burden on anyone. In typical Layla fashion, she sacrifices her own needs and wants to help the ones she loves. The impulsive decision causes her to reunite with Officer Chad Cooper. Layla quickly regrets her choice to leave Ryder. In this book, a whole new set of dilemmas arise, as Layla fights to find her way home. Ryder and Aiden frantically try to find her, with the help of the whole coven. This is a work of fiction. The concept for the book was inspired by the idea of half-blood vampires, as well as Greek mythology. All positive feedback and conversations would be great! I hope you enjoy the adventure as much as I'm enjoying the creative process of writing it. *All images featured in the book were created using Canva.

Cover by me! (I'm learning digital by myself :P) This story is a stretched out one as a warning. This is pretty much a story where 1x1x1x1 gets splashed by a weird potion, and he slowly turned into his past self, 2x2 :D This will definitely include the others angst and things though btw, so it's not just about him. Also, in my au, 2x2 has wings I'm really tired, I don't know if I can update the book any time soon.

Wendell survived everything that was meant to break him. The streets. The violence. The night he met a vampire. Now he has to learn how to live - and how to be loved. And that might be the hardest part.

House of Hera follows four young women-Margot, Alexia, Sloane, and Carmen-who are recruited into a covert female-led intelligence network known as House of Hera. Trained in secrecy and shaped by their pasts, they live double lives: balancing jobs, relationships, and friendships while infiltrating trafficking networks, taking down high-level syndicates, and exposing global corruption. They are exceptionally resourceful, dangerously underestimated, and fiercely bonded.

Surviving the end of the world was only the beginning. Shara and the others have spent years learning how to stay alive in a world overrun by the infected. They learned to sleep lightly, trust carefully, ration everything, and never assume that safety would last. Now, something is changing. The infected are weakening. Some are collapsing without explanation, and the force still connected to Shara seems to recognize a pattern it has yet to reveal. For the first time in years, the possibility exists that humanity's greatest threat may not last forever. But surviving a dying world and learning how to live in what comes after are two very different things. Back at the sanctuary, Shara, Randy, Marcus, Darius, and Lena begin doing something none of them expected to have the luxury of doing again: planning for a future. Gardens expand. Water systems are rebuilt. Permanent rooms replace temporary sleeping spaces. Slowly, a refuge created to keep the world out begins making room for other people. Then signs of another survivor appear beyond the boundary. As strangers become neighbors and survival gives way to community, Shara and the others must decide what parts of the old world are worth rebuilding-and what kind of world they want to create in its place. Because humanity doesn't just need to survive anymore. It needs to remember how to live. Calming the Wild is the second and final book in The Wild Duology, a post-apocalyptic story about survival, healing, found family, rebuilding, and the quiet courage it takes to hope again.

The Last Dawn - In the spring of 2025, the world wakes to a nightmare. A mysterious virus known as The Crimson Fever spreads with terrifying speed, turning ordinary people into mindless predators driven by bloodlust. Cities collapse, governments fail, and society crumbles almost overnight. Amid the chaos, a small group of survivors-ordinary people with extraordinary courage-must navigate a new world where danger lurks behind every corner. Every decision is a matter of life or death, and every Dawn may be their last. As the infection spreads and humanity teeters on the edge of extinction, the survivors face not only the horrors of the infected but also the darkness in themselves and in those they once trusted. Loyalties are tested, alliances are forged and broken, and the line between human and monster blurs. The Last Dawn is a gripping tale of survival, fear, and hope-a story of how ordinary people fight to endure in a world that has fallen apart, where the only certainty is that nothing will ever be the same again.

She doesn't want blood. She wants them to face the consequences of what they did. One by one, Amara steps into their carefully protected worlds. She becomes their competitor, their colleague, their investor-and sometimes, the person they trust most. Then their secrets begin to surface. A career starts collapsing. A perfect marriage begins cracking. A respected reputation turns into a scandal. And the people who once believed they were untouchable begin looking over their shoulders. But revenge has a price. Because the closer Amara gets to destroying the lives of the people who destroyed hers, the more she risks becoming trapped in the past. She came back for revenge. But will she leave with justice-or lose herself along the way?
